St Nathy’s women’s senior football team are appealing for financial support for their All-Ireland intermediate quarter-final trip to London next week.
George Leech’s side overcame St Josephs of Leitrim in the Connacht intermediate club final last Saturday to set up a showdown with London side Parnells, who are the British senior champions.
The game will take place on either Saturday 26th or Sunday 27th of October -the choice must be made by St Nathy’s themselves after they determine the most cost-effective plan.
The club has estimated the trip will cost them close to €20,000.
It is the first time in 12 years a ladies side from Sligo has won the provincial intermediate club championship. Nathy’s themselves were the last club to do so in 2007.
Listen to St Nathy’s Manager George Leech talking with Ocean FM sport’s Austin O’Callaghan about the upcoming trip:
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the team with their costs and anyone who wishes to donate can do so here.
